The Hunter (1980)

Steve McQueen’s final film before his death from cancer isn’t regarded as a classic, but it ought to be.

He plays a bounty hunter whose task it is to bring in dangerous criminals. The plot is enjoyably open-ended, with several threads interwoven. McQueen acts more than usual, which makes for an enjoyable watch.

There’s also a lot of humour and some genuinely exciting scenes. I especially liked the running joke about his inability to park a car.
